Pavlova Recipe

Pavlova is such an elegant dessert that always provides a dramatic, impressive finale. I have a secret for you though. It’s really easy to make, too.

Everyone will think you’ve been working away in the kitchen all day when you bring out your gorgeous pavlova for dessert or a party. It makes a great dessert for your Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day and 4th of July get together and so many other special occasions. It is always a crowd pleasure since it is filled with strawberries and blueberries and topped with homemade whipped cream and a sprig of mint.

I’ll tell ya, I made pavlova for my sister’s birthday and it was a hit. Such a nice change from traditional birthday cake – light, tender, and absolutely delicious!

I think one of the most spectacular yet easy desserts ever and yours looks beautiful.

I have a favorite I make that is a layered one with raspberries and chocolate. It looks dramatic and tastes wonderful and I made it for a barbecue last year. I heard over and over that I should not have gone to so much trouble. I tried to tell guests but to no avail so it’s our secret isn’t it..they are so simple!

I see people go nuts for macarons, both in the making and in the drama of whether they are or are not successful and I say…forget the macaron and use your egg whites for good…a pavlova!

Beautiful, gluten-free, and a lot lower-cal than a typical cake. Plus, being as how it’s basically a giant meringue, not that hard to make. I’ll have to keep this in mind as we hit the summer fruit season.
